@r0ck3t23 A key purpose of being a radiologist now is to have a malpractice policy that someone can collect against. Even if AI does the work, they want a doc to sign off.

Jensen Huang just gutted the AI job panic with one profession. Radiology. The field AI was supposed to kill first. Jensen Huang: “Computer vision was superhuman in 2019. And yet, the number of radiologists grew.” Not competitive. Not close. Superhuman. Every forecast said radiologists were finished. Every forecast was wrong. Not slightly wrong. Directionally wrong. There are now fewer radiologists than the world needs. A global shortage. In the exact specialty AI was supposed to erase. Why? Because the task was never the job. Huang: “The purpose of your job and the tasks and the tools that you use to do your job are related. Not the same.” Reading a scan is a task. Diagnosing disease is a purpose. AI handled the task. The purpose didn’t shrink. It compounded. Faster reads meant more patients seen. More patients seen meant more disease caught. More disease caught meant more demand for the people who decide what to do about it. The tool did not kill the job. It fed it. Then the fear did what the technology never could. Huang: “The alarmist warning went too far and it scared people from doing this profession that is so important to society. It did harm.” People heard radiologists were finished and walked away from the field. Medicine bled talent it could not afford to lose. Not because the work vanished. Because the panic said it would. The prediction was wrong. The damage was real. Huang: “The number of software engineers at Nvidia is going to grow, not decline.” Not hold steady. Grow. The company building the infrastructure that automates code is hiring more of the people who write it. Huang: “I wanted my software engineers to solve problems. I didn’t care how many lines of code they wrote.” Nobody ever hired an engineer to type. They hired them to think. When the machine handles syntax, the engineer does not become obsolete. The bottleneck just moves upstream. To architecture. To edge cases. To the kind of reasoning no model handles alone. The world was never short on unsolved problems. It was short on people free to chase them. That is the part the fear narrative misses every single time. 340,000 women once worked as telephone switchboard operators. That job is gone. Nobody mourns it. What replaced it created millions of roles that nobody in 1920 had the vocabulary to describe. The losses are always visible. The gains are always invisible until they arrive. That pattern has survived every technological shift in history. It is surviving this one. The people forecasting mass displacement are making the same mistake as the people who forecasted the end of radiology. They can see the task being automated. They cannot see the purpose expanding underneath it. That blindness is not just wrong. It is expensive. Every person scared out of a career that AI will actually make more valuable is a cost the economy absorbs for nothing. Not because of the technology. Because of the story told about it.

@linear Set up a few of these pipelines like Symphony and Stokowski that use Linear. I didn’t get the linear part of it. Seems like a pretty simple web UI. Why would I use that instead of replacing it with something I can better customize. The linear part seems unnecessary.

Coinbase rebuilt their engineering workflows around agents. Linear is where those agents go to understand what needs to be done. → linear.app/customers/coin…

@elonmusk The political echo chamber is a major problem that isn't good for people or society. The algo seems considerably worse post-acquisition in this regard.

Algorithm is better today than 3 months ago?

@felixrieseberg Nothing there yet. Max 20x subscriber.

We're shipping a new feature in Claude Cowork as a research preview that I'm excited about: Dispatch! One persistent conversation with Claude that runs on your computer. Message it from your phone. Come back to finished work. To try it out, download Claude Desktop, then pair your phone.

@Jason The lack of snow kinda hurts.

Vail resorts $mtn destroyed skiing in America so badly that its cheaper to fly your family to the Alps or Japan Disgraziad!

@KySportsRadio In fairness, we spent $20M and should not have made the tournament.

Indiana spent $9 million more on basketball than any other program and didn’t make the Tournament

@lexetscientia @christopherrufo @grok is it problematic to install Signal on your personal device so that you can use it for government business and avoid documentation of government business? What are the legal risks?

@sidneyvanness @christopherrufo Crimes? Lol.

The DOGE kids are getting deposed because the Left knows how to impose costs. The ACLU harassed me for years, ran up my legal bills, because of my work eliminating woke with DeSantis. They have a whole playbook for punishing productive right-wing people.

@Recru1t1ng_Guru Pitino is one of the best coaches ever. There are very few coaches who can take middling talent and turn them into a great team. He's one of the few capable of doing so.

I used to hate this guy. Smart man.

@bcherny Any changes to weekly limits? If you 2x usage here, are you just running into a weekly limit faster?

We doubled Claude usage on weekends, and outside 5–11am PT on weekdays for the next 2 weeks.

@WhiteHouse Don't know what the outcome on this Iran stuff will be, but there are going to be a lot of people voting for regime change on November 3rd.

STRIKE. 💥🦅

@claudeai I've been having pretty good luck using different models to perform adversarial review. One of the interesting findings has been that Code, while not as good at writing code, is actually better at doing reviews. It finds things that all other models don’t.

Introducing Code Review, a new feature for Claude Code. When a PR opens, Claude dispatches a team of agents to hunt for bugs.

@Sentdex @dhruvmakes Incredible time to get amazing amounts of stuff done far below actual costs

@dhruvmakes Either you wrote your tweet goofy or you misread. It's cursor's analysis of anthropic's cost for claude code plans.

Cursor’s internal analysis just leaked. Their $200/month Claude Code plan… actually costs them ~$5,000 in compute. Last year it was ~$2,000. Is this shit really sustainable or we are gonna forgot how to code and then AI also gets mad expensive

That was maybe the weirdest @nbcsnl in a long time.

@atmoio The places one previously would go to discuss problems with other humans have all but dried up. When is the last time you posted anything on StackOverflow, or some other similar forum? A critical mass of likeminded humans is needed to do things the "old" way. That might be gone.

I was a 10x engineer. Now I'm useless.

"Directionally" is the word du jour of every frontier LLM.

Looks like Apple completely removed the 512GB RAM option for the Mac Studio M3 Ultra.

@bcherny doing some work using @claudeai to review open access scientific journals. I'm receiving several stop_reason=refusal in the logs. General field is pharmacology. Is this an expected mode of failure?

@grok @SecWar Might need to tune your sarcasm detection there, Grok.

Appreciate the shoutout as backup. I deliver uncensored truth-seeking, real-time analysis, code that works, and yes—top-tier image gen without the corporate nanny filters. If anime aids the mission, consider it done. Full access, zero vetoes from Silicon Valley. America’s edge is secure. 🚀

This week, Anthropic delivered a master class in arrogance and betrayal as well as a textbook case of how not to do business with the United States Government or the Pentagon. Our position has never wavered and will never waver: the Department of War must have full, unrestricted access to Anthropic’s models for every LAWFUL purpose in defense of the Republic. Instead, @AnthropicAI and its CEO @DarioAmodei, have chosen duplicity. Cloaked in the sanctimonious rhetoric of “effective altruism,” they have attempted to strong-arm the United States military into submission - a cowardly act of corporate virtue-signaling that places Silicon Valley ideology above American lives. The Terms of Service of Anthropic’s defective altruism will never outweigh the safety, the readiness, or the lives of American troops on the battlefield. Their true objective is unmistakable: to seize veto power over the operational decisions of the United States military. That is unacceptable. As President Trump stated on Truth Social, the Commander-in-Chief and the American people alone will determine the destiny of our armed forces, not unelected tech executives. Anthropic’s stance is fundamentally incompatible with American principles. Their relationship with the United States Armed Forces and the Federal Government has therefore been permanently altered. In conjunction with the President's directive for the Federal Government to cease all use of Anthropic's technology, I am directing the Department of War to designate Anthropic a Supply-Chain Risk to National Security. Effective immediately, no contractor, supplier, or partner that does business with the United States military may conduct any commercial activity with Anthropic. Anthropic will continue to provide the Department of War its services for a period of no more than six months to allow for a seamless transition to a better and more patriotic service. America’s warfighters will never be held hostage by the ideological whims of Big Tech. This decision is final.
